By the Author of " Molly Bawn." 

 OPINIONS OF THE PRESS. 



" Mrs. Hungerford never fails to be prettily piquant, and this volume will be 

 enjoyed quite as much as anything she has ever written." Academy. 



" One needs scarcely to be reminded that the author of ' Molly Bawn ' is a 

 writer of distinct Hibernian wit and verve, but if further proof were required 

 it would be found in ' A Little Irish Girl.' " Daily Chronicle.

 and full of amusement and instruction." Scotsman. 



VOL. IV.-THREE WEEKS AT MOPETOWN. 



By PERCY FITZGERALD. [Ready. 



OPINIONS OF THE PRESS. 



" A clever skit upon life at a hydropathic establishment, in this writer's 

 popular vein ; the book is amusing." Gentlewoman. 



" In all senses the writing is uncommonly clever, and the sketches of the 

 various characters who inhabit a fashionable hydropathic establishment are 

 drawn with lifelike fidelity. "-Public Opinion. 



" Mopetown is a charming place, and the people who go there are very 

 amusing to read about. Some of the character-studies are perfect miniatures. 

 There is occasional exaggeration, but never the least unkmdness ; the book 

 is healthy and thoroughly refreshing." Pictorial World. 



"The portrait of the place, and the different types of character that are met, 

 afford scope for some very pretty descriptive writing, and here Mr. Fitzgerald 

 shows to lull advantage." Publishers' Circular.
